Morning Glamour | Stocking Stuffers For Women and Teen Girls

November 13, 2023 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I am so excited to share my FAVORITE new brand for stocking stuffers. Morning Glamour reached out to me and as soon as I saw the products I knew I wanted to try them. Morning Glamour offers satin pillowcases, satin sleepmasks, satin scrunchies, heatless curling kits, shower caps, and several other giftable products.

I picked out three products from Morning Glamour that I was so excited about and can’t wait to share them with you.

Morning Glamour

The Satin Pillowcase

I’ve been using satin pillowcases for years and I won’t go back to a regular pillowcase. I love that my hair doesn’t get frizzy, and as a woman in my 30’s I want to use something that is the least likely to wrinkle my skin or cause breakouts. And I don’t want my skincare absorbing into the regular (cotton) pillowcase. This pillowcase has cute packaging, and it feels so nice.

5 Pack Hair Scrunchies Gift Box

This is super cute, I am a total sucker for the packaging! I love having scrunchies like this when I need to wear my hair up in a loose topknot when sleeping or in a pony when hanging out in the evenings, especially after I’ve put on lotion or self-tanner and need my hair up but don’t want it to crease.

Satin Heatless Curler

I was so excited to get this! I saw the legging curling method go viral on TikTok and my daughter is 12 and will absolutely love this. I am excited to try it, too. The packaging is nice, it’s a fun and large item that would make a fine standalone gift for only $15!

How-To Style Curtain Bangs

October 23, 2023 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I got curtain bangs in early summer, and now I have a more extreme curtain bang, and I love it. Today I wanted to share with you how I style them.

How-To Style Curtain Bangs

I style my curtain bangs the same whether I wear the rest of my hair down, curled, straight, or pulled back. I use my favorite drugstore heat protectant and then a straightener (*note: This is not my straighener, but I had a T3 for years and it was my favorite). I hold about a 1-inch section of my bang (I usually do each side of the part separately but you can do it all at once for a quick one-and-done) straight up and go straight up above my head with the flat iron and then flick my wrist up at the very end of the hair. That’s it. I spray with my favorite hairspray and let it set for a bit before I run my hands to fix them.

If you’re not using a silk pillowcase yet…

Hi there! Happy Monday! Enjoy your Labor Day if you’re in the U.S.A.

I’ve been using a silk pillowcase for years, but if you’re not here is your perfect opportunity. This mulberry silk pillowcase from Amazon is absolute perfection and is less than a Starbucks run.

Amazon Silk Pillowcase

Silk pillowcases are smooth which helps to reduce friction to help your skin and hair not tug. A silk pillowcase will help you to not get frizzy hair, or wrinkled smushed into your skin from your pillowcase, and as an added bonus? It feels much cooler than a regular cotton pillowcase.

Have you tried a silk pillowcase? I’m also a BIG FAN of silk eye masks.

Feel More Confident and Fashionable This Fall

August 21, 2023 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

It’s back-to-school week here and that means getting into a new routine. Often in a busy season, it is easy to wake up and just want to be cozy because you’re so overwhelmed, or feel like NOTHING looks good. Today I want to share a tip I know you’ve probably heard: Pick your clothes out the night before. But I will take it a step further.

Feel More Confident and Fashionable This Fall

Each evening I ask Alexa what the weather will be the next day, and then I think about what activities I/our family has. Do I have an important meeting? Do I need to run the kids around outside? Appointment? Etc. Then I pick my clothes, steam or de-wrinkle things, and put it all out in my closet. I also grab socks, bra, undies, and a workout outfit if I’ll be running or working out.

Do you pick out your clothes the night before?

DRMTLGY Universal Tinted Moisturizer SPF 46 Medical Grade Skincare

July 31, 2023 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

It has been HOT and humid this summer and I’ve been wearing five makeup products each day with the favorite being the DRMTLGY Universal Tinted Moisturizer SPF 46 because it is a super light coverage but enough to blur my imperfections and gives me SPF on my face.

DRMTLGY Universal Tinted Moisturizer SPF 46

I apply this with one of my favorite Real Techniques beauty sponges. I apply a layer all over my face and build it up a tiny bit on any imperfections. The DRMTLGY Universal Tinted Moisturizer SPF 46 is a best seller on Amazon for a reason!

What is your favorite tinted SPF?

Hi there! Happy Monday!

This past weekend I got to wear a gorgeous bow jumpsuit from Express. I was fortunate enough to attend a beautiful baby shower and my mom gifted me with several beautiful clothing items around my birthday (she knows I am on a no-buy!)

I wore the Hailenda Pointed Toe Pump by Vince Camuto.

I carried this Handle Bag in Lilac by French Connection.

Silk Sleep Mask | 3 Options

February 27, 2023 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I recently traveled for a funeral and appreciated my silk sleep mask more than ever. Blocking out the light, even the little bits from clocks or an outdoor light/street light, helps me sleep much better. I don’t like to have anything pressing or rubbing against my eyes, so I no longer use a fabric sleep mask but instead a silk sleep mask.

My No-Buy Contentment Journey

January 23, 2023 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I am really enjoying my no-buy. I have noticed that I get excited to even buy basic things now, like replacing my favorite facewash. I do think this showcases that I do crave the thrill of buying, but I think that being able to be excited about the simple and mundane is good. This brings me to another element that I have brought into 2023 along with my no-buy.

My Contentment Journey

I am trying to be more present by not distracting myself all of the time with YouTube, streaming shows, and music. I still listen to things (I am listening to a YouTube video as I type) but when doing things like making dinner, switching the laundry, or washing dishes I am not having entertainment on. I am trying things like using some of my many (many) eye shadow palettes that I haven’t reached for in awhile, changing up my earrings, and trying to enjoy the process of getting ready. I’ve also tried to be present and notice the touch, sound, and beauty in the mundane.

Have you attempted a no-buy or a low-buy? What category (makeup? skincare? clothes? home decor? craft supplies?) do you overshop?

Maybelline Hyper Easy Liquid Pen Eyeliner | Review

January 16, 2023 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I spoke last week about my no-buy and I will only be replacing makeup that runs out such as eyeliner, eyebrow products, and concealer. I also must “shop my stash” first, so I use up anything I have, and if I can’t use it because it is too old or faulty, I will get rid of it in an effort to declutter. I use liquid eyeliner most days, and my current favorite is the Maybelline Hyper Easy Liquid Pen.

Maybelline Hyper Easy Liquid Pen

Why I love it: It sounds gimmicky, but I love the hexagonal grip. I really do find it easier to hold. The tip is small and fine, which makes it perfect for a nice barely there line which is what I’ve been gravitating to lately, but I also am able to get a thicker line and a nice wing when that is the look I am after. It doesn’t pull or drag, and it is very opaque.

What is your favorite eyeliner?

December 12, 2022 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

Like my posts last week on the NYX NYX Professional Makeup Bare with Me Serum Concealer, this is a short and sweet post about the e.l.f Power Grip Primer and the very short version is: if you need a primer, buy this one.
